New Zealand name team to face Australia

Steve Hansen has handed Richie McCaw the reigns as captain once again, despite the veteran flanker having sat out the majority of the Super Rugby season.

Aaron Cruden replaces the injured Dan Carter and partners Aaron Smith at half-back, while Tony Woodcock and Andrew Hore get the nod ahead of Wyatt Crockett and Kevin Mealamu respectively. The only uncapped member of the squad is centre Ryan Crotty, who takes the number 23 shirt.
